My husband had his interview this morning at the Embassy in Dakar, Senegal.

They looked at his passport and checked it in the computer.
They asked him the following questions: What is your wife's name? Where does she live? They asked about his nickname, "Sana Vincen," which I included as a nickname in the IV application because all our correspondence via Facebook is under his account with that name. He also uses that name for email. How did you meet your wife? In what year did you meet? What is the date of your marriage?
They viewed the originals and took photocopies of both his birth certificate and police record.
There was a problem with the marriage certificate because I mistakenly thought that he also had an original, but he only has a certified copy, which he showed to the CO.

He was then given a 221G letter with the following items circled: marriage certificate, with the notation "original," medical... read complete review

The embassy has a turn-around time of less than 24 hours to email inquiries. Getting an appointment is a little cumbersome due to the need for a special calling card. The appointments are given to several people for the same day/same time and you just wait in the waiting room until your number is called. Very efficient process from fingerprinting to interview. I attended my fiance's interiew since we were worried about some "red flags" (age difference,language, religion), but when it came time for the interview, we were just asked a few basic questions in a conversational tone. The interviewer was extremely nice and tried to make my fiance at ease.

But he saw quickly that though grammar is nonexistent in my french, communication was not an issue since I "translated" his french to my fiance. I think we all saw the irony that my fiance ... read complete review

I was present for the interview. I was surprised that the interview space was not private and we could hear every interview in session. My fiance opted to complete his interview in English so I was able to understand what he was being asked. The officer didn't ask him much. She asked how we met, what I do for work, what he does for work, and when did he start that type of work. She also asked him if I had been married previously and if I had any children. She did not ask any questions about our marriage plans or other questions about our families. After he completed his interview the officer asked to interview me and asked me the same exact questions. She asked to see our photos but no other evidence. I had submitted phone records and flight itineraries with my I-129F petition but she did not appear to have an interest in seeing the updated phone records. We don't have letters or emails because my fiance does not read or write very well (yet) and I documented that in a letter with the ... read complete review
